{Coconut Granola}

Yay! For Friday!!! I am happy and relieved its the weekend! This weekend marks the last work weekend for Brent! He is an accountant so he has been busy, busy for several months and we are excited to have daddy home more often!! But for you Tax slackers the deadline is actually Monday! Mine are taken care of ;) hehe..
Last night after the babies went down I cleaned my entire kitchen! Swept, Scrubbed, & Mopped! Then decided to make Granola... Note to self.. never do that again. Granola can get a bit messy.. I don't know if its just me but when I make granola it gets everywhere! This granola however, is completely worth it!!!!

Pour 1/2 liquid on top of one pan and then the remaining on the top and stir together till coated evenly

Bake at 350 for 20 minutes and turn/stir granola -- then reduce heat to 250 and bake for 10-15 more minutes repeat until desired browness is achieved. (I did it for twice.)

X5!

This Granola was so good!!! Its addicting! You need to make this, then let me know how you liked it. This would be great to take to a party or share with your neighbors! You will become popular pretty fast. I mean, thats why I have so many friends.. haha! Love you all.. Have a good weekend! Tomorrow, we have a busy day! Swimming, Teaching, Baby shower, Cabelas and a group date night! Yay!!

Thanks for this Candice will give this a go this weekend. Questions though: can I use just plain sugar? Also, what kind of coconut oil do you use? Virgin, unrefined, etc? Any brand you would recommend? Been looking around for some time now for a good coconut oil and so far this one appeals the most: http://products.mercola.com/coconut-oil/. Have you tried this yet?

I am a mother

Becoming a mother was the best day of my life. In July 2010, I became a support, a friend, a mom to two beautiful children. Before I was a mom, I was an avid runner, fitness instructor and health advocate. When I became pregnant I continued my healthy habits and this is my journey back to my pre pregnancy shape.
My children are my inspiration, I strive for better health and strength not only for myself but for them.
A body of a mother is a beautiful thing! So what if you gained weight, or that skin on your belly isn't as tight as before. NO matter the shape, size, or number of stretchmarks! It created something that is irreplaceable and of the upmost beauty.
So, To all your mothers out there, always look at the positive and never forget what you created. You can always bounce back. Heres how I'm doing it. If you need help just follow along :)
